Graduation

The time has indeed come for my time as Leicester’s History blogger to end. As I am a graduate and therefore no longer actually doing History. Thanks so much for reading this over the last year; I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed all of it. If you want to go back through any of my […]

I have to be honest here; I wasn’t really looking forward to my graduation day. An unknown amount of hours, sat in a hall listening to speeches and watching hundreds of people I don’t know from one of the largest subjects at the university walk onstage for approximately three seconds each? All while wearing strange […]

Guys, after a lot of careful thought, I’ve decided it’s time for me to migrate. To a new blog. Because I’m graduating and everything. At the moment I’m uploading my travel diary from the month I spent travelling around Iceland, Norway, and Copenhagen. Here’s an extract, and if you like it you can check it […]

So after completing my entire degree last week, I’ve decided to leave Leicester for Iceland. Not permanently, that’s just where I’m going for a post-degree holiday before I enter the real world. My friend and I decided to backpack across the Nordic lands of Scotland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden for the whole of […]

On the first of June 2017 at 16:30, I put down my University of Leicester History Society pen and finished the last piece of my entire degree. The exams are over, and so is student life for me! Unfortunately for you I’m still the uni’s History blogger until July, so you’ll have to put […]

The time has come – I’ve officially been to the last class of my degree, and handed in my last essay. Only two exams to go, then I’ll be completely finished! I am excited, but going to that final timetabled class was surprisingly emotional. I’ve grown attached! As if to mark the occasion, I […]

So I’m in the final throes of my dissertation now; seemingly every spare minute is spent frantically typing. I think this is the image of third year generally. For me, it’s consisting of typing, reading, revising, applying for jobs, and frantically trying to make the most of being a student for as long as I […]

Okay admittedly this post is not going to give you everything you need to know on this subject. The University has a brilliant Careers Development Service which will give you so much help with your great and courageous job hunt (finding part time work and internships while you’re at uni, and graduate jobs when you […]

I got so caught up in celebrating my degree result that I forgot to actually tell you guys. So, I’m very proud to announce that on Tuesday 12th July I graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in History!!! Here’s me on my special day: It was a really lovely day. First of […]

I can’t believe that I’m thinking about graduation – it feels like only 5 minutes ago that I started uni, and now I’ll be graduating in a matter of months. It’s crazy!!! I recently found out I’ll be graduating July 12th and it’s just made the whole thing seem so real now. Earlier I was reading all […]
